I'm fairly certain it's not Webb. I think you need give it more time on WF.com and maybe point people towards the 1940 catalogue. 9147 is quite a scarce pattern and many people won't be familiar with it. It would also be helpful if a moderator could change the title here to attract the Whitefriars collectors.

While your vase seems to taper in a little more towards the base than the catalogue drawing, I can see nothing that definitely rules out Whitefriars (the difference could be just down to individual variation - also the illustrated examples I've found were all in the larger size, not this 6 inch version). The 6 sided pattern, the style of foot and the dimensions all match the smallest size 9147 vase. Likewise 'Flint' (clear colourless) was a catalogued colour for this range. The time period is roughly correct; 9147 appears in the 1940 catalogue and the 'Celery' mark on yours dates it from 1942 onwards. Therefore, on balance, I think it is likely to be Whitefriars and is quite an interesting find.

Thanks Steven,I will put forward your most logical and informative description to them ,been watching too much Star Trek,I did look at the catalogue and agree it's not like the Webb pieces I have Keith.

Hi Kieth if it has that square look (birdseye view) and a fairly large pontil then i feel it is Webbs , i spent the last 25 years hanging around with Ray Annenberg of Whitefriars we used to buy glass together until he became unwell i collected foreign glass he collected mostly W/Fs so it worked well , he taught me quite at lot about English glass . jp
